Feature 214--wonderingwellow

Doubt I have to remind y'all, but click on the image to get taken to the page the art's on! Isn't this an amazing piece of pixel work? To be able to work on such small pieces of art is just lovely.
I personally love how she put that crown on the swan's head and how it works so nicely with the sky behind it. The water moves perfectly too, in my opinion. Lovely artwork!

Ooh, is this what it's supposed to be like inside the pokeballs for the individual pokemon? Anything to make it more comfortable for them, I imagine.
Really enjoying how the flowers move as if there's a bit of wind in here. And then the Pikachu in the center is bouncing as if he is quite happy in this section. I hope he really is! And then that he and the rest of the pokemon this owner has get to walk with him or her. They can't just be inside the ball, right?
I personally love this piece!

As I know nothing about animating anything, I wonder if the bubbles in the water and the blinking of the mermaid's eyes is why her tailtip can't move? Then again, with the fish and bubbles in the water maybe it would have caused too much distraction.
But aren't the colors just perfect for this scene? We can see the mermaid very easily and there's nothing causing any issues in the fish swimming back and forth. I'd love to be able to be *in* this bit of water! Lovely work!

These pieces are fully amazing! Not only pixel but animated too? If you'd want to see more of wonderingwellow's art and her writing, her gallery is here! Please drop by 💖

Built over a pond in Sims

I'm on a sims run, it seems. XD Got a neat little building idea that decided to generally work out! First time that I've ever built over water, that's just fun.

So now my farmer vampire has all the ground he could work with for his animals and his growing plants! Lovely! I'll be sure to share when the whole lot s designed up properly, I can't wait!

And this is what I have for this version at the moment. ^^ Can't wait to have the farmer test everything!

Sims 4 distraction

I was temporarily locked out of my email and this site last week. So I tried to distract myself by playing with Sims and creating a place on the center-right lot in Hanford-On-Bagley. (I think it was 2 Old Mill Lane before I moved my character in?) It's been quite fun to toy with it!

Also! Many thanks to James Turner on youtube for being my reference on how to get the base for an A-Frame to work out. My previous attempts didn't work at all for this lot and this house fit perfectly for a single sim!

I just played around til I got to water section to work out on this lot, but this video was helpful in figuring how to create a piece of a lake in back of this lot.

Final Mountain Lake Reflection and chatter

I'm half certain that I've posted this image before, but I'm too tired to poke around. So just in case. Here is the final "Mountain Lake Reflection" image!

 
Thanks so much to all of y'all for being so great to keep checking on/giving tips while I worked!
As of now, though, I'm about to head off to get some sleep. Have a sinus infection that's going on and...well. No wonder I've been so exhausted and unfocused. XD Have had this thing for at least a month or so!

Have to say that I hope to see y'all on the 12th. You'll love my next feature!

Mountain Lake Reflection

The most amazing thing has happened! The .clip file allowed me to merge all of the reflection layers without messing them up. I'm going to sing about that lucky happy accident until something else happens. Also, I have plenty to thank my tutor about--he suggested I create some silhouettes of the trees I meant to put in the background? It looks amazing!

Have to be honest; I didn't know that it could work like this. (Super glad that it did!)

Mountain Lake reflection

So. I've gotten myself into a bit of a pickle. The timelapse I thought I was going to do seems to have fallen through, except for the lineart. But instead of worrying about a timelapse, look what I've managed to do to myself:

Yes. You see this exactly right. This is two wip versions that I have happened into. I love both of them too, especially the one which will become a starry sky. But the sunrise one is just so very pretty right this moment, even in it's halfdone state. Why did I have to do two?

Oh, I can hear what you're saying right now--why didn't you delete one if you didn't want to work on them both? I. Don't. Know. I'll answer you later if I figure it out. XD

Bitten again by the art bug!

But isn't that just exactly why this site was created?
Honestly, I'm quite pleased right now. This is a terrible sketch but it's a great baseline for the painting it will become! 

 

I've set myself a new challenge too. If I get over the cowardness to all of it, I'm going to attempt to paint with Clip Studio's new timelapse feature. Provided that works out, I'll just have to put it on the videos page...keep an eye out!

Edit: 19 second timelapse of getting the linework done!
